VOLUME 3, NUMBER 3 • SEPTEMBER 2004 Message from the Program Chair The theme for this year’s Conference, “Simulation and Training: Transforming 21st Century Operations”, is reflected in the many tutorials, technical papers, presentations, special events and exhibits throughout the conference. Our world has undergone tremendous transformation during the last few years and our collective contributions to training, simulation and education have proven pivotal to our many Steve Detro, I/ITSEC 2004 Program Chair successes. Our world continues to face many political, economic, social and technological challenges and it is our hope that I/ITSEC 2004 can provide a venue for effective and positive transformation. We honor warfighters from the United States and all of our Coalition Partners and everyone who supports the warfighter, from all countries, who join us in our fight for peace and freedom. As we strive to bring you high quality paper presentations, special events and tutorials, we are pleased to present 156 technical papers, 15 special events and 20 tutorials. After the conference, please take full advantage of your ability to review the Opening Ceremonies, Flag Officer Panel and Best Paper presentations via our web page at www.iitsec.org. I wish to thank the very dedicated and talented volunteers who Program Chair cont. on page 3 The University of Central Florida’s Newest Partnership Building Nears Completion Partnership II, the latest of a series of University of Central Florida simulation research-related office and laboratory buildings, is scheduled for occupancy in late October. The five-story, 95,575 sq. ft. building in The University of Central Florida’s new Partnership II building. the Central Florida Research Park will be home to ele- ments of U.S. Army PEO (STRI), U.S. Marine Corps Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS), and UCF’s Institute for Simulation and Training, and Team Performance and Advanced Building Nears Completion cont. on page 3 SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS PAPERS ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION DOD TRAINING CAPABILITIES ANALYSIS PAGE 2 PAGE 4 PAGE 8 Published by Subcommittee Reports Education Subcommittee Mark A. Gerash, Chair We had 68 total Abstracts that went for Papers prior to the paper evaluation meeting in Salt Lake City. During our meeting we had 59 submissions; the best percentage of submissions amongst all the Subcommittees. I believe this was directly related to the perseverance with which the birddogs pursued each author. Ultimately, we accepted 41 papers for presentation, 6 papers for publish only and had 12 rejections. The quality of the papers was as good if not better than in past years. The Education Subcommittee is passionate about presentations and publishing. I was moved and honored to represent such a committed group of individuals. We believe the 41 presentations will be the collective best 41 presentations ever given at I/ITSEC. Policy, Management and Acquisition (PMA) Subcommittee DeLloyd Voorhees, Jr., Chair The Policy, Management and Acquisition Subcommittee focuses on policy directives regarding the methodologies, processes and/or procedures implemented while acquiring training systems or executing current training programs. We examine management issues directly related to the administration of programs and acquisitions, including challenges, successes, risks, finances and the impact of these on the training system and/or the trainees. Finally, we address acquisition topics related to the acquisition of training systems; services, facilities and courseware; and the success with which these training efforts meet their designed goals. The PMA Team is composed of 29 experienced Government and Industry partners including myself and my Deputy—Sam Worrell. Two of our members are former Program/Conference Chairs—Stan Aronberg and Ed Ward. These two individuals provide guidance and support to me and the entire PMA Team in getting us through the Abstract, Paper and Presentation Review processes leading up to the Conference. Eleven of our members repre2 SEPTEMBER 2004 sent the Services (USA, USMC, USN, USAF & USCG); eighteen of our members are from Industry. The Subcommittee represents a seasoned cross section of expertise. This year we welcomed 11 new or transferred members, thus keeping our “corporate knowledge” fresh. The Subcommittee members independently reviewed 54 abstracts during the March review in San Antonio. Of these, 33 were accepted and recommended to be developed into papers. The subcommittee members continue to work with the prospective authors to “bird dog” the authors into developing a paper that meets the theme of the Conference, the fulfillment of the abstract accepted, and the guidelines of the Conference. These Bird Dogs, most of whom have prepared and presented papers at earlier I/ITSECs, are key in getting papers approved and subsequently, the development of presentations for the December Conference. Congratulations to the authors whose abstracts were selected! We look forward to reading your high quality papers. Research and Development Subcommittee Dr. Jim Wall, Chair The Research and Development Subcommittee is on track for supporting the 2004 Interservice/ Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference with an outstanding collection of papers reporting on a wide variety of timely research and development activities. These papers strongly support this year’s theme, “Simulation and Training: Transforming 21st Century Operations.” At the Paper Review (July 27-28 in Salt Lake City), twenty-six papers were reviewed with fifteen being accepted for presentation and four being accepted for publishing only. Last year, the R&D Subcommittee established a more defined commitment to serve as an international forum focused on promoting and advancing revolutionary concepts and innovative applications in both basic and applied research activities related to modeling, simulation and training. That commitment remains. Our objectives are as follows: to facilitate the exchange of information on pioneering advancements, to encourage inquiry into new and emerging fields, and to present documented results for measuring advancements in the state-of-the-art. Participation in the I/ITSEC Conference from organizations and communities engaged in research and development activities other than the armed services (e.g., NASA, academia) is strongly encouraged also. As usual, the R&D Subcommittee membership represents a diverse group of men and women with exceptional credentials. They are charged with the process of soliciting, reviewing, and accepting, high quality papers for publication. The distribution of the group is as follows: fifteen members from industry, twelve from the government, and one from academia. Because the abstracts and papers in R&D come from multiple disciplines, it is most important that the Subcommittee members be carefully selected to ensure that each entry gets reviewed by qualified individuals. This is the eighth year that I have served in some capacity on one of the I/ITSEC Subcommittees and I continue to be amazed at the depth of knowledge represented. In most cases, one or more members of the Subcommittee will have either detailed programmatic knowledge about that which is being reported in addition to the requisite technical knowledge I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the 2004 I/ITSEC R&D Subcommittee Chair. The support from all involved to ensure that this year’s conference will be the best ever has been tremendous. Human Systems Integration Bruce McDonald, Chair Repeated hurricanes have prevented the Human Systems Integration Subcommittee from providing a full report on the results of their Paper Review in Salt Lake City. Something about having to evacuate offices for several days… Here, however, is an abbreviated report. From a total of 33 abstracts originally accepted, 26 papers were submitted. Of these, 18 were accepted for presentation and five for publication only. Subcommittee Chair Bruce McDonald notes that the high percentage of papers produced from abstracts accepted is testimony to the good, persistent work of the “Bird Dogs”. He also indicates that his Subcommittee was well prepared for the Review process and that discussions were congenial and productive.

From the ground up, the facility was designed to DoD anti-terrorism standards for security and force protection. More than half a million feet of data wiring and 176,000 feet of electrical MC cable and wiring represent the state of the art for building communications and security. Strategically located conference and collaboration spaces were designed to foster cooperation among the building’s various users. UCF occupies floors one and two and shares the third level with DoD components. Army and Marine Corps units are in limited-access spaces on the fourth and fifth floors. A large conference room on the second floor can be used for a variety of activities. A two-story production studio will aid advanced digital media development and distribution.

That effort, called the Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives (TCAoA), is complete and will have far reaching implications for applying the benefits of modeling and simulation, as well as other training technologies, to training. One Dr. Paul W. Mayberry of the most interesting parts of the analysis was a series of games — really collaborative planning sessions based on a scenario — including one game with representatives from the training industry. We had terrific participation in this game and what we heard from industry was eye opening. As a result, one of the follow-on actions from the AoA will be a prototype training acquisition initiative that we intend to sponsor at US Special Operations Command. Other follow-on actions will be the establishment of a Joint Training Functional Capabilities Board under the Joint Requirements Oversight Council and a Joint Requirements Office in US Joint Forces Command. The requirements process was one of the major elements contributing to our inability to field JSIMS. Another fundamental change in our approach will be the way we work with the intelligence community. In JSIMS, their participation was really as a training aid to our warfighters. The better approach is that they and the warfighters train together, and future simulations will be built to support this approach. One other major follow-on effort is that we need to rethink our whole approach to high-level staff training with large simulations. A blend of better individual training with light simulations, or even gaming technology, may provide better, cheaper, faster learning experiences. Reengineering joint training will be a follow-on study effort. The full implication of the TCAoA will continue to unfold as it gets more high-level review and as teams continue to work over the pieces. Already I am convinced that it has provided the fundamental course correction that was needed. I hope to have an opportunity to provide a further update on our TCAoA efforts in your next newsletter — perhaps in time for the 2004 I/ITSEC. Dr. Paul W.
